Coral sizes from six sites on the south coast of St. John, USVI from 1992 to 2019

These data describe the mean diameter (mm) coral colonies in photoquadrats recorded at six sites (7-9 m depth) on the south shore of St. John, USVI, from 1992-2019. Colonies were recorded in 0.5 x 0.5 m quadrats and their sizes were recorded in digital images and are reported by quadrat to the lowest taxonomic level possible. Lots of quadrats contained no corals, and a few quadrats contained many corals. These data are used to report on changes in coral community structure over time and to calculate coral calcification (G) using Reefbudget as described in the paper.

These data were published in Edmunds and Perry (2023).
